  1. " We've had loads of stuff delivered... it's a fact of life when you live out in the sticks, you can't always get what you need in a trailer, and even if you can it may mean several long trips. All the bulder's merchants will deliver, but in my experience it's never free!  Sad [:(] As an example, the delivery charge for a lorry load of sand/gravel (6 tonnes), from a depot 15 kms away, costs around 40€ here (!!) in south Deux-Sevres. You may be able to negotiate a small reduction. " Why should it be free ? Broadly I have not found anything which will cope with say 7.5 tonnes which cost much less than € 0.30 a kilometres to run. Include a driver and € 40 seems a reasonable price for 15kms

    We plan our orders and normally pick up from the local Bricodepot when we are passing anyway. A Day at the Races is not to bad but when you are dressed for a Night at the Opera can be a bit much

  2. They are not illegal to sell but are illegal to use according to the sticker attached to a Belkin FM transmitter designed to link an Ipod to an FM radio which I purchased in FNAC. In practical terms its range was less than 5 feet - unless somebody bypasses the attenuator on the antenna
  3. The procedure on Sky’s website on how to disable auto standby is

    * Press the Services button on your Sky remote.

    * Select Setup.

    * Push up twice to highlight Auto Standby.

    * Push left (or right) once to change ON to OFF.

    * Push down once to highlight Save New Settings and press Select.

    * Push the Sky button to return to whatever you were watching.
  4. It is risk reward ratio time. HSBC / Midland as was charge me 1 % off the middle market rate. Specilaist currency brokers charge less but I have yet to find one whose balance sheet does not cause the intergalactic laxative to run through my bowels. If I needed money from the Euro to Sterling I would do it as soon as the rate falls below 1.11 pre election. Post election I think it will be 1.25
  5. Plan B - The text is :

    We would like to give you advance notice of the date of the next Phoenix Booksale.

    This will take place on April 24, 2010 at the Salle des Fêtes of Campsegret, on the N21 north of Bergerac. (Same venue as last November’s event).

    Opening time: 10:00-15:00.

    More details will be posted here and emailed to Phoenix Members nearer the date. In the meantime please spread the word to your friends!

  6. € 900 a month sounds great to me. Google.fr and Location Bordeaux. looks like no problem

    Once played netball for Smith and Nephew in Lincons in Fields Central London. Ladies league = OK if we lost but I was up for gender realignment if we won.

    The only other condition was that I wore blue knickers and the cross over skirt
  7. Depends what your budget is. Centre Bordeaux can be almost at London prices. Are you renting or buying ?

    Tram under 35 minutes - irrespective of traffic as trams control Bordeaux's traffic lights

    Line B - Rats seem to have lost ability to post web adresses. Search Google.Fr tram bordeaux
  8. I tried three times using the forgotten password system. Everytime I recieved the new password correctly - copied and pasted into the bbox but was not allowed in.

    I received onePM on another forum in January from somebody having similar problems.

    Finally rejoined using another name and my emergency Wanadoo Email address.

    Has anybody else had problems ?
